a new Iguanodont called Koshisaurus has been unearthed in Japan. It is only the sixth named species of dinosaur ever discovered on the archipelago.

I could have sworn there was more than six, are they only counting pre-avians perhaps?

There are two key words there that make most of the difference...Named..and dinosaurs. Much of what is found in Japan are marine reptiles and oceangoing animals....and most of the dinosaur material that is found, is generally scraps and too incomplete to work with.

Ah yes, that sounds a bit more likely now. Thanks for helping clear my rather confused mind a little bit.

I wonder if Kaiyodo will end up making a figure of this one. Too bad it seems to be very fragmentary like the rest of the Japanese dinos.
